Gary - I tried to see if I could order a set of tires for my 1967 Mini on the web site, but can't see a way to select them.

Can you tell me if I could order these?

Right now I have a set of Dunlop SP44s in 165/70SR10 on the 4.5" Cooper S wheels. I also have a set of Dunlops in 145/70SR10 on the spare 3.5" set of S wheels I have.

These tires are getting on at least nine years old now, and I'm thinking for safety's sake it would be best to replace them next spring.

I have had such good luck with tirerack.com for my E46 I was wondering if I could also get tires for my Mini.

Thanks in advance.

The only 10" I have available is the 165/70R10 Yokohama A008, and H rated summer performance tire.

To find it online, you'll need to search by size rather than by vehicle. After the size is entered, click on 'proceed to results' without narrowing by any category.

Gary - Many thanks. I've heard of the Yoko's, a lot of Mini nuts in the UK ran them on the street. I'll keep that in mind.

Appreciate the tip.

You should have seen the look on the guy's face at the Sears Tire Center when I took the Dunlops up to have them spun balanced last year...He was like Are these for your trailer or something? It has to be said, a 10" wheel does look a little small these days... :rofl:
